Hi everyone!

I wanted to know what types of colorants people normally used to colored their soaps. I'm a beginner and have made several batches of soap and feel ready to add colors to my future batches. What are your thoughts on Micas and ultra marine colorants? I prefer to use something that doesn't have food color dye chemicals. Where is a good site to purchase them that is reasonable in price.

Thanks everyone!

I have bought the premixed oxides and ultra marines from BB. They do great in MP but havent been to impressed with them in CP.

Try oxides or ultramarines from BrambleBerry.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I will be looking into BB product lines. Can't wait to start mixing colors!

I like BB labcolors for High PH. I use them and mix with micas sometimes. depending on the color I am trying to accomplish. I like the way BB packages their micas and oxides too
